Subject: [PATCH] drm: writeback: Document behaviour for framebuffer size mismatch
Date: Mon,  1 Jun 2026 14:57:32 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260601195732.72538-1-derek.foreman@collabora.com> (raw)

Currently we have not explicitly defined the behaviour when the width
and height of the writeback framebuffer do not match the width and
height of the attached CRTC.

Allow the driver to perform a scale operation to fit the content, so
systems with scaling blocks in the writeback path can easily expose them.
Failure remains an option for all the systems that don't have a scaler.

Cropping would make less sense, as the region to crop is underspecified
without some other properties to define an origin.
